SUMMARY:Webinar - Autism and young onset dementia
DESCRIPTION:The Young Dementia Network webinar on Tuesday 19th May 2026 at 12.30-1.30pm will explore the experiences of autistic people when accessing dementia healthcare\, highlighting some of the barriers they may encounter and the importance of making services more accessible and inclusive. \nIt will outline the work being undertaken at Dementia UK to develop clear\, accessible information and resources for both the autistic community and healthcare professionals\, with the aim of improving understanding\, communication and support. \nIt will also examine the complex relationship between autism and young onset dementia. In particular\, it will consider how certain characteristics commonly associated with autism\, such as differences in communication\, behaviour and sensory processing\, may sometimes be misunderstood or misattributed as signs of young onset dementia. We will discuss how these overlaps can contribute to confusion in assessment and diagnosis\, and why greater awareness among healthcare professionals is essential. \nPresenters at the webinar include Ryan Gray\, Research Assistant at Dementia UK\, who leads on the young onset dementia strand of its 2023-2026 strategy and Gavin Stewart PhD\, a senior postdoctoral research fellow at King’s College London. Gavin is an expert in autism and ageing and his research takes a multifaceted approach to explore the life experiences of autistic people across adulthood and as they age. \nLou shares her lived experience as an autistic carer for her mum with dementia\, her difficulties in navigating services and her Mum’s transition into a care home. \n\nRegister
